Rep. John Larson’s Burial Plot

This letter regards the credulity-stretching proposal by Rep. John Larson, D-East Hartford, to go all subterranean with Hartford's interstate highways. The plan that cannot promise to assuage vehicular congestion. The restrictive scheme requires more than half of the tunnel travelers to backtrack to reach their local destinations.

And let's not overlook the complex becoming a high-yield target for any clown with a car bomb.

So what if traffic at times forces drivers to slow down? Relax.

The "urgent" problem reminds me of those motorists who pitch odium on Route 9's two signal lights. Oh, the horror of sitting with your foot on the brake for a Middletown minute and gazing at the stately Connecticut River with its buxom bridge.
